Index Numbers
While index numbers are by no means the
only form of statistical information provided
in this Review, they do cover a large portion of
the field. They consolidate a large amount of
information into a single figure. They also
provide a ready means of comparison among
various series which would otherwise be shown
in disparate terms such as tons, dollars, num-
bers of employed persons, etc. This article is
designed to illustrate in non-mathematical
terms how index numbers are made and to
point out some old and some new uses that
can be made of them.
Index Number Construction
Previous articles have explained in detail the
content and method of construction of the
Cost-of-Living Index and the Canadian Farm
Products Price Index. 0) While mention will be
made of other types of index numbers, such as
those of volume and value, the principles are
the same throughout. There are two basic
ingredients of price indexes; namely, the price
relatives and the weighting system. The price
relatives are merely individual prices expressed
as a percent of the price in some time period
chosen as a reference point and called a "base
period". For example, a loaf of bread selling
at 10 cents in the base period and 15 cents at
the present time would have a price relative
of 150. A set of relatives is made, covering all
components of the particular index. The
weighting system is a set of values; that is, a
list of the dollar amounts spent on or received
for the various articles. Thus each item is
assigned a weight in accordance with its rel-
ative importance. The individual price relatives
are multiplied by their weights. These prod-
ucts are then summed and divided by the
sum of the value weights, to give a weighted
average which is the final index.
In actual practice there are a number of
qualifications and refinements in the above
outline. Instead of multiplying price relatives
by values the same answer can be obtained by
multiplying prices and quantities. The latter
(1) "The Cost-of-Living Index", Canadian Statistical
Review, February 1948. "Price Indexes of Agricultural
Products and Farm Costs", Canadian Statistical Review,
August, 1948.
is actually the case in the early stages of combi-
nation of the Cost-of-Living Index. At later
stages, however, it becomes necessary to use
price relatives rather than the prices them-
selves. As there is no quantity unit such as
yards or quarts for groups such as food or
clothing, the calculation must use price rel-
atives as soon as the first level of grouping is
reached. Another reason for using relatives is
that frequently the items within a group will
not add up to full coverage of the group.
Hence the average price relative of the covered
items is weighted by the value of the entire
group. This is called "imputation" — imputing
to the available relatives the weight of the
group of which they are a sample.
Occasionally a certain price will become ob-
solete, when, for instance, an article is no
longer made to the same specification. In
such cases, if the article is considered to give
the same utility per dollar, it is "spliced in",
that is, the new price for each item is given the
same relative as the corresponding former
item. Actually a new base price is obtained by
dividing the new price by the relative of the
old price. A month of overlap in which both
old and new prices can be obtained or estimated
is required for this procedure. In other cases,
items will be "bumped in" rather than being
"spliced in", that is, they will be priced or
estimated in the base period and at the present
time and their new relative inserted in place of
the former obsolete one. A variation in this
case occurs when it is not feasible or necessary
to estimate the base price for the new article
and the base price of the supplanted article
must be accepted in its stead.
Variations also occur in the weighting
systems, but these are in general a matter of
major revision at approximately ten-year in-
tervals. The weighting systems should be
changed whenever they have altered to such an
extent that the current month-to-month and
year-to-year changes of the index as well as
the level over the base period, are affected. A
greater latitude can be allowed in historical
comparisons such as pre-war, post-war com-
parisons, because the analytical uses of such
comparisons would not normally require ab-
solute accuracy. That is to say, the same
analytical conclusions might be drawn whether
the indexes were exact or approximate. On
the other hand, the current movements are
subject to much closer scrutiny and in the case
of the Cost-of-Living Index, there is real
concern with movements of as little as one-
tenth of a point. For these reasons, new post-
war weighting systems are being developed
and new index numbers will be calculated
with them.
Alternative Weighting Systems
The majority of the official indexes are base
weighted, and the weights do not change from
year to year. Fixed weight indexes may be
arithmetically converted to any desired base
by dividing each term in the series by the
standing of the index at the chosen base. This
is true of the published series of the Prices
Section and the Agricultural Statistics Section
and of the Business Statistics Section's Physical
Volume of Industrial Production. However,
the conversion may not give an exact answer if
patterns of expenditure, production, etc., have
changed. There are other types of index num-
bers which are not convertible arithmetically
but they do attempt to solve the problem of
changing patterns. These are series which
change weights, the simplest being the "Paas-
ches" type which always uses current weights.
Currently weighted indexes answer such a
question as "what is the present cost, as
compared with the base period, of this year's
bill of goods?". The difficulty with this
question is that when it is repeated next year,
it tells what next year's bill of goods would
cost, as compared with its cost in the base
period, and as a result there is no pure price
comparison between the two years in which the
bills of goods have changed. In other words,
some of the quantity change between the two
years will be concealed in the resulting price
comparison.
These comments emphasize what is fre-
quently called "the Index Number Problem"
which is the problem of choosing the correct
weighting system. The choice of the weighting
system depends on what question the index is
designed to answer. There is an answer to the
question "what would the base period bill of
goods cost then and now?", or to the question
"what would this year's bill of goods cost then
and now?", or to the question "what would an
average bill of goods cost then and now ?". As it
turns out in actual practice, the answers to
these various questions have in nine cases out
ten been within two or three per cent of one
another even in such periods as the past decade.
However, expenditure patterns are watched
closely to determine when a major revision is
required. In practice, it is necessary to make
minor changes in weights when new develop-
ments take place. When the new series is
established, it may be linked onto the old series
if a long historical series on a single base is
required.
Choosing a time base
A standard base is required for all official
indexes in order to facilitate ready comparison
and to save the various users the trouble of
conversion. There have been suggestions in
the United States that the year 1950 would be
a suitable post-war base because their Census
is to be in that year, and it will provide much of
the "benchmark" data required for weighting
and subsequent estimation of a large variety
of time series. For the same reason, 1951 might
be a good base for Canadian indexes because
our census is to be in that year.
In choosing a base, a period of normality is
desirable. The year 1926 was a desirable base
period for price indexes because in that year,
prices of various commodities were in a suitable
relationship to one another. The post-war re-
alignment of prices had been completed and
the levels of employment and output were high
and relatively stable. This stability reflected
itself in individual prices as well as the general
price level.
On the other hand, 1933 would have been a
poor base because some prices were out of line
with any reasonable evaluation of costs. Sub-
sequent comparisons based on that period
would have shown the depressed prices to have
risen a great deal and the stable prices to appear
to be comparatively low. By 1937, some degree
of normality had been restored, and when later
it became necessary to establish a new official
base, the period 1935 to 1939 was chosen. Any
single year in this period would present diffi-
culties for particular series and so the broader
base was chosen. These are the considerations,
some very practical and some theoretical, that
have to be taken into account in determining
a new official base for index numbers.
ii
Some particular applications and
new developments in the
index number field
Cost-of-living indexes are provided for sepa-
rate cities, but these are not intended to show
whether it costs more to live in one city than
another. They show only to what extent prices
have altered through time. A recent develop-
ment in the field of inter-city living cost com-
parisons was published by the United States
Department of Labour under the title "City
Worker's Family Budget". A budget for a
working class family was established and priced
in the various cities. The costs were adjusted
for inter-city differences in climate and their
effects on fuel and clothing expenditures, etc.,
otherwise the budget remained the same from
city to city. The adjusted costs were compared
from city to city. A similar comparison can be
carried out as between countries rather than
cities. These comparisons are called "inter-
spatial" living cost comparisons as opposed to
the "inter-temporal" comparisons with which
we are already familiar.
The present index of the Volume of Indus-
trial Production is a base weighted type as
described above. Experiments are being carried
on with a new formula which deducts the quan-
tity of input of each industry from the quantity
of output. The resulting measure of net value
added is compared directly with the similar
measurement for the base period to produce an
index number. The main theoretical criticism
of the older index is that it fails to account for
changes in the structure of industry or for
changes in the nature of the work performed in
individual industries. The new formula avoids
this shortcoming. The measurement of quan-
tity is in terms of constant dollars or in other
words, current quantities valued at base period
prices. In cases where the quantity of output
or input is difficult to measure (e.g. sheet
metal products), it is feasible to sample for
price changes and to divide the price into the
value in order to arrive at a measure of quan-
tity.
This procedure of separating the quantity
and price components of value changes has
also been applied to the figures of Gross Na-
tional Expenditure. The items of Personal
Expenditure on Consumer Goods and Services,
Government Expenditure on Goods and Serv-
ices, Investment in Housing, Plant and Equip-
ment, Inventory Changes and Exports and Im-
ports of Goods and Services, were recently
shown in current and constant (1935-1939)
dollars. (U The constant dollar figures showed
what each of the above items of expenditure
would have been if valued in terms of pre-war
prices. The constant dollar figures can be
converted to index numbers of quantity merely
by dividing each one by a chosen base period
constant dollar value. The procedure in the
above mentioned estimates was to subdivide
the items as finely as possible and to obtain for
each subdivision a suitable price index. This
index was then divided into the current dollar
value to convert it to constant dollars.

iture, Preliminary, 1949" DBS, Ottawa, 1949.

Statistical Trends
Production at mid-year was running ahead
of the high levels of 1949. The index of indus-
trial production in May stood at 195.6 as
compared with 188.0 for the same month of
1949, and the average for the first five months
of the year was 3.6 per cent above the same
period a year ago. Total value of retail trade
increased by 6.1 per cent over May of last year
and was 3.7 per cent higher on the basis of
the five month average. Employment has
risen steadily since the decline of last fall and
winter. For eight of the ten provinces, the
number of persons without jobs and seeking
work on June 3, 1950 was 123,000. This is 25,000
higher than the 98,000 unemployed at June
4, 1949, but still only about 2) 2 per cent of the
total labour force. Manitoba was not surveyed
because of floods, and the survey did not
commence in Newfoundland until last October.
Merchandise exports in May exceeded last
year's ifigure by $14 million, although for
the first five months of the year a decline
of about 2 per cent was registered. Increased
United States buying in Canada has almost
offset the decline in our exports to overseas
markets.
The outbreak of war in Korea has injected
new uncertainties into the current situation.
This development must be considered in rela-
tion to the fact that the economies of Canada
and the United States are operating close to
capacity.
Prices and the Cost-of- Living
The Cost-of -Living Index rose 1.4 points to
165.4 at June 1, the highest level on record
and almost 5 points above June 1949. Since
January the trend has been steadily upward,
reversing the decline which began toward the
end of 1949. The June increase in the index is
accounted for almost entirely by the rise in
meat prices. Since August 1948, when the
embargo on shipments of beef and cattle to
the United States was lifted, Canadians have
had to meet the going United States' price
for meat.
The general index of wholesale prices (1926 =
100) stood at 161.8 in May, an increase of 5.4
points over May 1949. Since the beginning of
the year this index has risen steadily. An
increase in May of 1.7 points is attribuable to
advances in the price of livestock, fresh meat,
raw wool and wool cloth, lumber and timber,
scrap iron and steel, brass and copper products,
and lead and zinc and their products. In
order of magnitude, the advances for the
month were as follows: zinc and its products,
11.6 per cent; lead and products, 9.8 per cent;
scrap iron and steel, 8.3 per cent; wool cloth,
6.2 per cent; brass, copper, and products, 4.6
per cent; livestock, 4.4 per cent; raw wool, 4.0
per cent; fresh meat, 3.9 per cent; and lumber
and timber, 2.4 per cent.
Comparisons of prices and the cost-of-living
between Canada and the United States are
illustrated in the chart on page iv.
Some of the underlying factors bearing upon
the present price situation are noted here.
Shortages still persist in automobiles and cer-
tain consumer durables. Instalment and char-
ge purchases remain high ; for the first quarter
of the year they were 37.3 per cent of total retail
sales, slightly above the 37.1 per cent of last
year. The construction program is continuing
to put a strain on the supply of building mate-
rials. United States' purchases of Canadian
meat and lumber have caused large increases
in the price of these commodities in Canada.
The general rise in prices which began in the
United States in the early part of the year has
been renewed since the outbreak of war in
Korea. These price increases have a direct
effect on the Canadian price structure because
of our extensive trade with the United States.
Latest reports indicate that defence spending,
estimated at $425 million for the fiscal year,
will now be increased. These expenditures
generate salaries and wages without causing
corresponding increases in the supply of goods
and services available for consumers.
Employment and the Labour Force
For eight of the ten provinces, the Labour
Force Survey indicates that the total employed
civilian labour force was 4,695,000 in June 1950,
compared with 4,716,000 in June 1949. The
number of persons without jobs and seeking
work was higher than for June 1949, having
increased by 25,000 persons. Unemployment
insurance benefits paid in the first six months
of the year were up $30 million over the same
period last year. Payments in June were $6.6
million compared with $4.1 million in June
1949.
Private and Public Investment
Capital expenditures of Canadian business
and government on new construction, machin-
ery and equipment, appear to be exceeding
earlier expectations, according to a mid-year
survey by the Department of Trade and Com-
merce. The revised estimate indicates that
total capital expenditures in 1950 will be about
$3,701 million or 3 per cent above the earlier
forecast of $3,596 million, and 8 per cent above
the 1949 level. Such huge capital outlays have
done much to sustain the high levels of income
and employment since the end of the war.
The increase over last year is almost entirely
in construction. Private housing expenditures
are up by $20 million, and private institutions
by $18 million. Government capital expen-
ditures, including expenditures on government
housing, provincial hospitals and schools, and
municipal schools, show an increase of $96
million. The largest increase is in business
construction expenditures (including expendi-
tures of government business enterprises)
which are estimated at $912 million compared
with $769 million last year. In total, the anti-
cipated increase in construction expenditures
is approximately 13 per cent above last year.
It should be noted that these figures are
based on a survey of intentions and projects
underway at mid-year. Insofar as intentions
are not realized, or estimates of cost are in-
accurate, these figures may differ from realized
expenditures at the end of the year.
The wholesale price index of building and
construction materials has shown a steady
increase since January. In May it stood at
209.6 as compared with 202.8 in May 1949.
Part of the increase in capital expenditures
may thus be attributed to rising prices, though
it seems clear that in real terms a substantial
gain will be shown over last year.
Crop Conditions and
the World Wheat Situation
The condition of all major field crops in
Canada as at June 30 was better than last year
at the same time, with the single exception of
sugar beets.
Preliminary estimates of crop acreages in-
dicate that approximately 27 million acres of
wheat were sown in 1950, about 2 per cent
below the 27.5 million acres seeded last year.
The acreage of oats is placed at 11.6 million
compared with 11.4 million in 1949, and barley
at 6.6 million acres compared with 6.0 million
acres. Rye acreage is practically unchanged,
but flax is estimated to exceed half a million
acres, approximately 70 per cent above last
year's levels.
By the latter part of July timely rains had
promoted development of good stands of grain
in the major grain growing areas of the Prairie
Provinces and the production outlook was
better than usual for this time of year. Crops,
however, are much later than normal in many
parts of the Prairies and there is accordingly
danger of early frost damage in susceptible
areas. Again, while moisture conditions were
generally favourable at the end of July, many
parts of Saskatchewan and Alberta still needed
adequate rains to assure a satisfactory harvest.
The prospects for the 1950 world wheat crops
are generally bright. Late trade reports relative
to the European wheat crops are fairly optimis-
tic. According to the Food and Agriculture
Organization, for the past two years export
supplies of wheat from the producing countries
have equalled or exceeded effective demand.
With the expiry of the United Kingdom wheat
contract on July 31, that country no longer
stands ready to buy Canadian wheat at a
guaranteed fixed price. However, the Inter-
national Wheat Agreement calls for exports of
some 212 million bushels of Canadian wheat
during the 1950-51 crop year at prices which
may not fall below $1.54 or exceed $1.98 per
bushel. Canadian wheat for domestic con-
sumption will also be sold within this price
range during 1950-51. As of August 1, 1950,
the Canadian Wheat Board's initial payment
to the farmer is reduced from $1.75 per bushel
to $1.40 per bushel for No. 1 Northern wheat
at Fort William or Port Arthur. As in the past,
farmers will participate further in whatever
profits are made out of the disposal of the crop

External Trade and
U.S. Dollar Balances
Merchandise exports a) in May were $289.6
million as compared with $275.6 million in
May 1949. For the first five months of the year,
a decline of $25 million, or 2 per cent was
registered. Imports in May were up $40 mil-
lion over May of last year, from $250.5 million
to $290.2 million. In contrast to the decline
in exports, imports show a slight increase over
1949 for the first five months of the year,
amounting to about $12 million, or 1 per cent.
The most important change has been in the
direction rather than the value of trade.
Although exports to the United Kingdom and
commonwealth countries have fallen off sharply
relative to 1949, this trend has been almost
offset by a rise in exports to the United States.
Canadian trade with the United States and
United Kingdom since 1947 is illustrated in
the Chart on page vii. This chart shows the
narrowing deficit on commodity trade with
the United States, and the reduced surplus
with the United Kingdom.
For the month of May our total exports to
all areas except the United States amounted
to $112.4 million, a decline of 26 per cent from
a year ago. Taking the first five months of
1950 our exports to all areas other than the
United States amounted to $419.4 million, a
decline of 29 per cent from a year ago. For the
first five months of 1950, exports to the United
(1) Exports to all countries in June were $291.8 million,
compared with $257.4 million in June 1949, according to
figures released immediately prior to publication.
Preliminary import figures indicate an increase of $32.3
over June 1949, from $250.5 million to $282.8 million.
Kingdom stood at $184.7 million, to other
commonwealth countries at $81.6 million, and
to other foreign countries excluding the United
States at $153.1 million, representing declines
of 33 per cent, 41 per cent and 16 per cent
respectively from a year ago.
Recent trade talks between British and Cana-
dian officials indicate that purchase of Cana-
dian iron ore, which fell to fractional propor-
tions this year, will be resumed and that the
United Kingdom will continue to provide a
market for Canadian lumber and other wood
products including newsprint.
In contrast to our weakening export position
with areas other than the United States our
export to that country continue to show steady
substantial increases. Export shipments in May
stood at $177.2 million, an increase of $54.3
million over the same month last year. For
the first five months of 1950 the value of
exports amounted to $736.9 million, a gain
of $152 million or 26 per cent. Featured in
this upward trend were increases in wood,
wood products and paper, and animals and
animal products. Wood, wood products and
paper increased from $273.6 million for the
first five months of 1949 to $361.9 million
for the same period this year, while animal
and animal products showed an increase of
$22.8 million, for the same period (in both
cases no allowance being made for re-exports).
In view of the present international situation,
it seems reasonable to expect a continuing
high level of United States' demand for Cana-
dian produce.
Latest figures show Canadian reserves of
gold and United States' dollars to be $1,255.4
million at the end of June, compared with
$976.9 million in June 1949, an increase of
about 29 per cent.

Note: These figures have been revised in order that all industries and industry groups may coincide with the
Standard Industrial Classification. In many cases, individual firms have been changed from one industry
to another, corresponding with the new definitions of industries. For more detail on types of firms included
together with revised monthly figures for 1948, see the December "Report on Inventories and Shipments
by Manufacturing Industries".

(1) Monthly totals of 1948 are not equivalent to annual data due to receipt of additional statistics which cannot be
allocated by months.
<2) Excluding producers' interchange.
Prior to 1946, exports include pigs, ingots, blooms, billets and rolling mill products.
' Prior to 1946, imports include castings and iorgings and rolling mill products. Since 1946, they include, in
addition to all other shapes, wire and wire rope. A substantial part of the imports appears after refinishing
in total shipments. Production of primary iron and steel shapes from Canadian steel is equivalent to about
72 percent of the total production of ingots.

(1) The coverage was extended to 507 municipalities in 1948, and to 523 in January 1950, minor revision still
being required in the table, due to the non-receipt of returns from a few small places. No account is
taken of the building activity outside of registration areas. Actual operations normally follow the granting
of permits but a number of projects are not undertaken or abandoned. The amount depends upon the
statement of the applicant and considerable change may develop before the completion of the operation.
(2) As of January 1950, Newfoundland is included.

(1) Annual results are from the Canadian Balance of International Payments and monthly totals as given in Trade
of Canada. In the balance of payment figures trade statistics have been adjusted to bring them closer
to the international exchange of goods with each country, by using payments data or other substitutes
in the case of certain special groups of transactions where physical movements of goods do not reflect inter-
national financial transaction, — e.g. — special shipments of munitions during the war, and the ware-
housing of Canadian wheat outside of Canada. Mutual aid exports are represented by financial transac-
tions which in some years are subject to revision. Non-commercial items have been deducted throughout.
(2) Official holdings of Gold and U.S. dollars are given as of end of year and month in Statistical Summary of the
Bank of Canada and Annual Report of Foreign Exchange Control Board.
<3) Does not include proceeds of 100 million dollar loan floated by the Government of Canada in the United States
in August 1949. *See footnote of page 96.

(1) The annual statistics prior to 1949 embrace all steam railways, while annual averages for 1949, and monthly
data for the last two years refer to railways with annual operating revenues of $530,000 or over.
< 2 > Operating income equals operating revenues less operating expenses adjusted for tax accruals and rent
of equipment and joint facilities. l3l For the Canadian National and the Canadian Pacific, retroactive wage
increases, totalling $29,085,087, paid in September 1948, were not included in that month's operating
expenses. Payrolls as now reported monthly are according to the new wage scale.

Forecasting Private and Public Investment
Estimates of the amount of money likely to
be spent in the year ahead on construction and
machinery and equipment have been published
since 1946. The first publication was called
"Capital, Repair and Maintenance Expend-
itures of Business Enterprises in Canada" and
the second, which was released in 1947 was
called the "Forecast of 1947 Investment by
Canadian Business". In these first two years
business or private investment only was covered
in the forecast. In 1948 the title was changed
to "Private and Public Investment in Canada,
Outlook 1948". In March of that year for the
first time statistics were published on govern-
ment or public, as well as private expenditures.
The reports for 1949 and 1950 have retained the
same title.
The work on the investment forecasts was
initiated in the Economic Research Branch of
the Department of Reconstruction and Supply
with the actual surveys being undertaken by
the Dominion Bureau of Statistics and the
preparation of the text and final report by the
Economic Research Branch. This arrangement
continued through 1949 by which time the
Economic Research Branch of the Department
of Reconstruction and Supply had been at-
tached to the Department of Trade and Com-
merce. In 1950 primary responsibility for the
investment forecast was transferred to the
Dominion Bureau of Statistics.
The Purpose of the Investment
Forecast
The amount of money spent on new con-
struction and machinery and equipment is
one of the more important determinants of
the levels of income and employment in
Canada as a whole. It is, of course, not the only
determinant of these levels. Exports, consumer
and government expenditures, and investment
in inventories likewise create income and
employment. All these components must be
given close attention by any person or group

concerned with the interpretation of current or
foreseeable economic trends.
There are, however, a number of reasons for
giving special attention to the levels of public
and private investment in construction and
machinery and equipment. One of the most
important is the extent to which outlays of
this nature have varied in the past, tending to
accentuate the business booms and depressions.
(See Chart on previous page).
Considerable thought has been given in re-
cent years to the possibility of partially offsetting
the variations in the private sector through
more rigid control of government capital out-
lays. There are, of course, serious obstacles to
implementing such a policy, particularly when
business is on the up-swing and heavy expend-
itures for plant, equipment and housing neces-
sitate government outlays for schools, hospi-
tals, administrative buildings, roads, sewers
and sidewalks, etc. On the other hand, when
private investment is declining it is reasonable
to expect that a contribution towards main-
taining total investment levels and business
activity generally might be made through
increased capital outlays by the public or
government sector. Implementation of meas-
ures such as this to counteract declines in
employment and income require advance plan-
ning and consequently it is essential to have
advance knowledge of intended investment on
which judgments may be based.
Another important reason for collecting
information on investment intentions is that
such data reflect to a considerable degree the
outlook of management on future business
prospects. In planning new investment, es-
pecially durable investments like new factories
or machines, management tries to estimate
the probable returns over the years ahead. This
it does by taking account of export prospects,
home consumption, costs, taxes, and all the
other conditions that affect present and pro-
spective profits, and that therefore determine
whether a given piece of new investment is
likely to be worthwhile. Since it is much more
difficult to gauge business conditions for a
number of years ahead than for the near future,
it seems highly probable that decisions to invest
are based largely on profits in the immediate
past, on current conditions and on the short-
run outlook. Information of this type, regard-
ing the future, is extremely valuable to both
business and government in planning effective
measures to meet the conditions which may
arise. Construction companies and suppliers
of machinery and equipment receive a general
indication of the volume of business they may
expect and are able to plan accordingly. Gov-
ernments, being better informed of the plans
and expectations of business, are able to take
this into account in policy formulation.
The Type of Expenditures Given
in the Investment Reports
Broadly speaking, the expenditures given
in the investment outlook are those made for
the purchase and repair of structures and
machinery and equipment used either to
produce goods or to provide services — in es-
sence, the expenditures made on the tools
required for production.
The nature of the tools or facilities for which
these expenditures are made varies from one
sector of the economy to another. In the
manufacturing industry they cover the costs
of purchasing and installing machinery and
equipment and the construction costs of
essential buildings. Storage space, workmen's
tools, steam shovels and cranes represent some
of the main expenditures of the construction
industry. Typical government expenditures
consist of the building costs of post offices and
other government buildings, office furniture
and machinery, and the costs of facilities like
roads and highways, sidewalks, filtration plants,
water systems, wharves and bridges. Expendi-
tures of institutions are made up of the costs
of building and equipment normally used by
our hospitals, schools, universities and churches.
In the mining industry such outlays include
all development costs as well as the cost of
machinery and equipment.
Housing is also included, although a large
part of it is not business capital. Nevertheless
it forms a large proportion of construction
expenditures and has cyclical fluctuations
similar to those which characterize business,
institutional and government capital expendi-
tures.
Although both capital and repair and main-
tenance expenditures are asked for in the
surveys on which the investment outlook is
based, the main emphasis of the report is on
capital or new investment. Repair and main-
u
tenance outlays are properly considered as
current and not capital charges and conse-
quently are given separately. They are included
in the investment reports principally because
of their similarity in some respects to capital
expenditures and also because they draw on
virtually the same pool of labour and materials.
Normally they do not fluctuate to the same
extent nor are they as representative of the
business outlook.
Capital expenditures are defined to include
the cost of procuring, constructing and install-
ing new durable plant and machinery, whether
for replacement of worn out or obsolete assets
or as additions to existing assets. Included are
purchases from persons outside the business,
together with the value of work on capital
assets undertaken by business with its own
working force. Gross outlay is asked for on the
questionnaires used with no deduction for
scrap or trade-in value of old assets. Excluded
are expenditures made for the purchase of
previously existing buildings and other struc-
tures, for used machinery and equipment, and
for land, since outlay of this type involves only
the transfer of property and not the production
of a capital asset.
Repair and maintenance expenditures rep-
resent the outlay made to maintain the
existing stock of durable physical assets in a
normal state of repair.
Capital expenditures and repair and main-
tenance expenditures are each divided into
construction and machinery and equipment.
Construction expenditures include engineering,
as well as building construction. For example,
in the utilities, construction is largely en-
gineering construction, such as that on trans-
mission, communication and oil pipe lines,
railway road beds, dams and bridges. Govern-
ment construction figures include expenditures
on highways, sewers, airfields, sidewalks, and
other miscellaneous engineering construction.
Coverage
All segments of the economy are covered in
the Investment Reports. The largest portion
of the expenditures are estimated from surveys
of some 18,000 business establishments of all
kinds, including mines, manufacturing plants,
utilities, retail stores, banks, wholesale estab-
lishments, etc. Surveys are also made of
housing, institutions and governments. The
remaining portions of the total capital expendi-
ture estimate, covering agriculture and the
primary part of the fishing industry, independ-
ent stores, real estate operators, and some of
the commercial services group, are not derived
from direct surveys and can only be considered
as informed approximations. However, such
estimates account for only about 15 per cent
of the total given in the investment outlook.
Quality of Estimates
In considering the accuracy or correctness
of any analysis of investment intentions, two
separate factors should be kept in mind.
First, it is necessary to consider the extent to
which investment plans are formulated in
advance. Second, consideration ought to be
given to the comparison of anticipated invest-
ment expenditures with the actual investment
statistics once they are available for the period
in question.
So far as the first point is concerned, it should
be noted that it is not always easy to obtain
reliable data on the future plans of business
firms. Some firms do not decide upon their
complete investment programme at the begin-
ning of the year and are unable to state their
intentions precisely. Generally, however,
capital expenditures, particularly those on
structures and large installations need previous
planning and preparation and most firms are
able to give a good estimate of expected outlay.
In addition, the seasonal character of construc-
tion in Canada frequently means that early
decisions must be made regarding the year's
plans.
The extent to which the forecast is borne out
in fact, though a measure of its practical worth,
is not necessarily a good test of the ability of
individuals to state their intentions. The
plans of business may be frustrated or changed
for many reasons. Modifications of the general
business outlook, changing price trends, and
shortages of some materials and skilled labour
may result in postponement or other changes
in investment plans. Individual businesses
have different planning periods and in some
cases plans are kept flexible as a matter of
policy. There is a possibility, however, that
there is a characteristic upward or downward
bias in the forecast of certain individual firms.
Changing circumstances from year to year
in
make it difficult to ascertain whether or not
this results in any general bias toward under-
statement or overstatement.
It is of interest to see how accurately the
1949 investment programme was predicted
early in that year. This is illustrated in the
table below, based on Table 36, p. 46 of The
1950 Outlook. It appears that the overall total
of actual expenditures in 1949 was 3.4 per cent
higher than forecast. Within this total, busi-
ness expenditures were about 4 per cent above
the forecast, and other expenditures about 3
per cent above. All the components of the
business groups showed some deviation from
the original forecast. In primary industries,
mining expenditures were found to have been
moderately underestimated. Manufacturing
expenditures were slightly lower than forecast.
The utilities group exceeded the forecast main-
ly because progress in electric power develop-
ment was greater than anticipated. In other
expenditures, housing accounted for the largest
part of the 3 per cent excess. Government work
also went forward more rapidly than anti-
cipated. A reduction in hospital expenditures
accounted for most of the overestimate in the
institutions group. It may have been that the
forecast in some instances anticipated funds
or appropriations which were not forthcoming
later in the year.
In considering these comparisons, it should
be kept in mind that the 1949 preliminary
actual figures are still subject to further
revision as more information becomes available.
However, these revisions do not as a rule affect
the overall totals appreciably although there
are sometimes significant changes within
groups.

Current Economic Conditions
Recent economic indicators show that there
has been little change in the general high level
of activity as reported in last month's Cana-
dian Statistical Review. Industrial production
continued at a high level in June with the index
showing an advance of 2 per cent over the
previous month and 5.6 per cent over June
1949. Total value of retail trade increased by
7.9 per cent over June of last year and was 5.3
per cent higher than the previous month.
Department store sales for the four weeks
ending August 12 have averaged 14 per cent
above the same weekly periods of last year.
Labour income in May was 2.7 per cent higher
than the April estimate of $642 million, and
6 per cent above May 1949.
A preliminary statement of our foreign trade
for June reveals a continuation of the change
in direction of trade relative to last year.
Exports to the United Kingdom and Common-
wealth countries declined by 21 per cent,
compared with June 1949, while exports to
the United States increased by 56 per cent.
On the other hand, imports from the United
Kingdom and Commonwealth countries in-
creased by 30 per cent. Imports from the
United States increased by approximately 7
per cent.
Attention is focused at present on the pos-
sible implications for the Canadian economy
of heavy rearmament in the United States
and the United Kingdom, and of our own in-
creased defence programme and military com-
mitments as a member of the United Nations
and under the Atlantic Pact. In the United
States, an increase in the defence budget of
$14.5 billion has been recommended, and
President Truman has asked for authority to
establish priorities for defence plants, insure
the allocation and requisition of scarce ma-
terials, curb consumer credit, and increase
taxes. It has been indicated by United States'
officials that defence orders will be placed in
Canada, but the extent of these is not yet known.
It may be some time before these develop-
ments are fully reflected in the statistical data.
However, in recent weeks the price of many
commodities has advanced sharply.
At the time of writing, the country is faced
with a nation-wide railway strike which, if
continued, will bring about severe economic
dislocation. Industrial shutdowns have al-
ready commenced and serious agricultural
losses may be sustained on perishable fruit
and vegetable crops now coming on the market.
Commodity Prices
The immediate effects of the Korean war
are, of course, being felt in a rise in commodity
prices both in ths country and in the United
States. These increases come at a time when
the Canadian wholesale price index has shown
a steady advance since the beginning of the
year. Between May and June, the index ad-
vanced by approximately 2 per cent to 165.0
(1926 = 100). Substantial increases were re-
gistered for zinc and its products, and for
brass, copper and products, which rose by 20.4
per cent and 11.9 per cent respectively. Raw
wool advanced 11.3 per cent, live stock 7.5 per
cent, fresh meat 6.7 per cent, lumber and tim-
ber 6.1 per cent and scrap iron and steel 6.1
per cent. These advances are for the month
ending June 15, and do not reflect increases
which have taken place since hostilities com-
menced in Korea on June 25.
In the seven weeks between June 22 and
August 10, further substantial increases were
registered in the price of many basic commod-
ities. Official indexes covering this period are
not yet available, but an analysis of prices of
selected commodities indicates that a sharp
upward movement has taken place and that
the group of imported commodities has re-
gistered the largest gains. In the seven weeks
for which figures are available, raw natural
rubber advanced by 77 per cent to 55 cents per
lb. and tin ingots advanced by 34 per cent to
$1.16 per lb. Imported vegetable oils rose
sharply — peanut oil, by 46 per cent and co-
coanut oil by 24 per cent. Other substantial
advances were: raw cotton, 11 per cent; raw
sugar, 7 per cent; and raw wool, 7 percent.
Domestic commodities too have shared in
the general advance. Lard increased by 67
per cent, tallow by 55 per cent and soya bean

oil by 12 per cent. Steers increased by 5 per
cent and hides by 17 per cent.
These increases reflect something more than
the normal pressure of demand resulting from
a high domestic level of industrial activity and
consumption. The Korean war and consequent
fear of shortages has introduced a speculative
element into the situation.
Stock Market Prices
Stock market prices, too, have reacted sharply
to the outbreak of war in Korea. Weekly stock
price indexes (1935-39 = 100) indicate that the
stock market was fairly stable during the first
quarter of 1950, but that a general rise in
prices began to make itself felt in the second
quarter of the year for all groups except golds.
During the week ending June 29, the week
in which hostilities commenced in Korea, all
groups declined sharply. This downward
movement continued until the third week in
July, when a general recovery began to take
place. Between June 22 and July 13, the weekly
index of industrial stocks declined from 129.4
to 114.0; utilities dropped from 139.0 to 122.9;
banks, from 150.5 to 144.4; golds from 71.5 to
54.8; and base metals from 134.4 to 120.3.
Up to August 17, only industrials and base
metals had recovered to a point exceeding their
June 22 levels. The indexes for these two groups
were 133.5 and 138.3 on that date. All other
groups had shown a fairly steady increase,
with the exception of golds which stood at 60.2
on August 17 as compared with 60.0 on July
20. The weekly indexes for utilities and banks
on August 17 were 134.9 and 146.3, respectively.
Beef Situation
Exports to the United States of dressed beef
and veal were 25 per cent higher during the
first six months of 1950 than for the same
period a year ago. Average monthly cold
storage holdings of beef in Canada have de-
clined from 27.8 million pounds in the first
six months of 1949 to 15.9 million pounds in
1950, or by 43 per cent. Exports of live cattle
to all countries in the first six months of the
year were 61 per cent above the same period
a year ago. The decline in cold storage holdings
of beef in Canada and the increase in exports
of live cattle is illustrated graphically in the
chart on page vi.
These figures reflect the present heavy de-
mand for Canadian beef which has resulted in
higher prices. Since January 1947 steer prices
in Canada have approximately doubled. The
chart on page vi shows how the price of steers
in Canada has moved in relation to the Ameri-
can price. It is interesting to note that in 1947
American steer prices were very nearly double
Canadian prices, but that early in 1948, the
Canadian price began to climb rapidly as
farmers restricted marketings in anticipation
of the removal of the embargo on exports of
beef and cattle to the United States. Toward
the end of 1948 and early in 1949, the Ameri-
can price dropped sharply as the effects of the
recession began to be felt in that country.
Despite this sharp decline, however, the United
States price remained well above the Canadian
price, which dropped much less severely. Since
the beginning of 1950 Canadian steer prices
have risen steadily, even though prices across
the border showed a substantial decline during
the first quarter of the year.
According to an analysis by the Department
of Agriculture/ 1 ' these high prices are likely
to prevail for some time. There are some in-
dications that excessively heavy marketings of
heifer stock in 1950 may result in an im-
pairment of Canada's productive capacity.
In addition it is stated that the cattle popula-
tion in Canada has been declining during the
past few years and that production, after an
initial lag, may also decline. There is therefore
little hope of an improvement in the supply
of beef in Canada in the near future.
The Cost-of -Living in June
The Canadian cost-of-living index advanced
a further 2.1 points between June 1 and July
3 to a new high of 167.5. As noted above this
figure does not, for the most part, reflect price
increases which have taken place as a result
of the international situation. Higher food
prices accounted for most of the increase but
rents were also a contributing factor. The
food subindex rose sharply from 209.0 to 214.3,
largely as a result of increases in meat, eggs,
and potatoes. A considerable portion of the

in Canada, Department of Agriculture, June, 1950.
Vll
price rise in these items was seasonal, partic-
ularly in eggs, which advanced 10.4c per dozen
and potatoes which rose 8.6c per 10 pounds.
August Crop Estimates
Canada's wheat crop was forecast at 544
million bushels in the first estimate of 1950
production released by the Dominion Bureau
of Statistics on August 15. It is too early to
assess the effect of frosts reported since the
estimate, and further the late harvest date
may bring additional damage. However if the
above estimate is realized, this will be the
third largest crop in the country's history,
49 per cent above the five year 1945-49 average
of 366 million bushels and exceeded only in
the years 1928 and 1942. Although the 27
million acres seeded to wheat in Canada this
year is below the record 1940 level of 28.7 mil-
lion acres, the average yield per acre of 20.1
bushels is well above the long-time average
of 16 bushels per acre.
Oats production is estimated at 433 million
bushels, 36 per cent above the 1949 level and 27
per cent above the 1945-49 average. All prov-
inces shared in the increase over last year
except Nova Scotia and British Columbia.
The barley crop is forecast at 184 million
bushels, 50 per cent greater than in 1949 and
27 per cent above the 1945-49 average. Produc-
tion in Nova Scotia is expected to be lower
than last year, but all other provinces share in
the increase.
Rye production is placed at 15.4 million
bushels, a gain of 54 per cent over 1949 despite
a slightly lower acreage. The flax crop is
estimated at 5.2 million bushels, 126 per cent
above 1949 but substantially below the 1945-49
average of 9.3 million. Most of the increase
over 1949 is in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
The current outlook is therefore for a very
large harvest this fall. It should be noted,
however, that these yield estimates may be
subject to significant revisions in the light of
subsequent harvesting conditions.
The wheat carry-over at July 31 was the
largest in the past four years, amounting to
113.2 million bushels. Stocks of rye and oats,
however, were below last year's levels, amount-
ing to 6.6 million and 44.3 million bushels,
respectively.

Standard Industrial Classification. In many cases, individual firms have been changed from one industry
to another, corresponding with the new definitions of industries. For more detail on types of firms included
together with revised monthly figures for 1948, see the December "Report on Inventories and Shipments
by Manufacturing Industries".

"'Monthly totals of 1948 are not equivalent to annual data due to receipt of additional statistics which cannot be
allocated by months.
'Excluding producers' interchange.
Prior to 1946, exports include pigs, ingots, blooms, billets and rolling mill products.
Prior to 1946, imports include castings and forgings and rolling mill products. Since 1946, they include, in
addition to all other shapes, wire and wire rope. A substantial part of the imports appears after refinishing
in total shipments. Production of primary iron and steel shapes from Canadian steel is equivalent to about
72 percent of the total production of ingots.

(1 > The coverage was extended to 507 municipalities in 1948, and to 523 in January 1950, minor revision still
being required in the table, due to the non-receipt of returns from a few small places. No account is
taken of the building activity outside of registration areas. Actual operations normally follow the granting
of permits but a number of projects are not undertaken or abandoned. The amount depends upon the
statement of the applicant and considerable change may develop before the completion of the operation.
(2) As of January 1950, Newfoundland is included.

(1, Annual results are from the Canadian Balance of International Payments and monthly totals as given in Trade
of Canada. In the balance of payment figures trade statistics have been adjusted to bring them closer
to the international exchange of goods with each country, by using payments data or other substitutes
in the case of certain special groups of transactions where physical movements of goods do not reflect inter-
national financial transaction, — e.g. — special shipments of munitions during the war, and the ware-

Beginning with April 1950 and the corresponding month of 1949 Newfoundland is included.
(1) The annual statistics prior to 1949 embrace all steam railways, while annual averages for 1949, and monthly
data for the last two years refer to railways with annual operating revenues of $500,000 or over.
(21 Operating income equals operating revenues less operating expenses adjusted for tax accruals and rent
of equipment and joint facilities. l3l For the Canadian National and the Canadian Pacific, retroactive wage
increases, totalling $29,085,087, paid in September 1948, were not included in that month's operating
expenses. Payrolls as now reported monthly are according to the new wage scale.

How Industry Returns Are Made
into Published Reports
When the Bureau was set up in 1918 its in-
ternal operations were not as complex as they
are now. Little tabulating equipment was
available for other than census work. To produce
industry statistics a staff of clerks was turned
loose on the schedules sent in by reporting
concerns and sooner or later totals were ob-
tained and printed. A considerable amount
of skill was developed by these early statistical
workers in adding figures and making hand
tallies on worksheets.
As time went on several developments made
a change in methods unavoidable. One of
these is the higher price of labour, which affects
the Bureau in the same way as business. A
second is the increased efficiency and adapta-
bility of available machines. A third is the need
for faster release of results, as statistical data
come to be demanded for policy decisions in
business. Further, more elaborate information
is demanded today by the users of DBS mate-
rial; for example, they do not wish to know
merely the total number of employees in the
country, but how many concerns have under
5, how many 5 to 10 employees, and so on. It is
not sufficient to state merely that there are so
many French speaking or so many English
speaking people in each part of the country,
but these groups must be subdivided according
to age, occupation, sex, and so forth. Wherever
such cross-classifications are required the
compilation by hand tally becomes time con-
suming and costly.
An organization has therefore been estab-
lished in the Bureau to take advantage of every
possible benefit to be obtained from mechanical
devices; it is known as the Mechanical Tabula-
tion Division and was set up three years ago.
It examines all new types of machines which
come on the market, — often when they are
still in the planning stage, — to find whether
they can help better to attain the goals of
speed, accuracy and economy. The Division
makes use of as wide a range of equipment as
is to be found in Canada, and one of the most
diverse on the Continent.
At one time, when no suitable equipment
could be bought, the Bureau invented and
built its own machines, which were most
ingenious. Some operated by electricity, others
on a rather original compressed air principle.
The Bureau is now satisfied, however, that its
own machines have been outstripped by com-
mercial ones which can be obtained more
cheaply than they can be custom built and
maintained.
The machines in the Bureau are designed to
do many of the jobs formerly done manually
by clerks. The process is one of feeding data
into the machine and then instructing the
machine what to do. A considerable portion
of DBS work uses punched cards as the me-
dium for putting the data into the machine.
A standard punch card is slightly larger than
a dollar bill and it is possible to have a hole in
any one of approximately 1,000 different posi-
tions on the card. Any one of these positions
may be punched and an almost endless number
of different arrangements is possible. Ordi-
narily it is convenient to divide off "fields" of
up to five or six columns on the card, each
serving to transcribe some fact taken from a
report. If the fact is a number it can be trans-
ferred to the punch card with the use of one
column for each digit of the number. If it is a
non-numerical characteristic, such as occupa-
tion or language spoken it must be coded in
order to be conveniently recorded in punch
positions.
To introduce the data on the punch cards
into the machine, the cards are run through it
one at a time and an electrical impulse is allow-
ed to pass whenever a hole appears. The machine
is instructed by means of a control panel or
switches how to interpret these impulses and
what to do with them.
One machine sorts cards into groups i.e. all
those punched in the 1 position in the column
being dealt with, are piled in one stack, those
punched in the 2 position in a second stack, and
so on. Another machine adds the figures
punched in particular fields from each card
i
much as an adding machine would do. A
third counts the number of cards punched for
any particular characteristic, such as occupa-
tion "carpenter". These functions of first
reading the card and then sorting, adding and
counting are essentially carried out by com-
binations of relays. All that the machine
operator needs to know (the designer of course
must know more) is that a relay is a switch
capable of being turned on (that is, closed)
by a very small electrical current, and when
closed is able to route a heavy current to any
counter, sorting mechanism, or type bar,
according to the instruction which the machine
has been initially given. The small electrical
current is that which passes through the
punched position, constituting the reading of
the card by the machine.
Electronic equipment uses tubes similar to
those in a radio in the place of relays; the
tubes do the same work but take far less time.
To reduce the time for a single switching of
current to 1/1,000,000 second when it is already
down to 1/1,000 may not seem an important
matter, but when a very great number of
switches have to be turned on and off it pays to
have them in the form of tubes rather than
relays.
Relays or tubes can be wired together to
carry out operations comparable in complexity
with those assigned to human beings, and it is
probably to convey this fact that machines
working essentially by relay networks have
been described as mechanical brains. One of
the more elaborate uses of such networks of
relays in the Bureau is the work known as
editing. The combination of relays examines
punch cards passing through it to find cases
where the various entries are inconsistent, —
where, for example, a person has been recorded
as having the occupation "doctor" despite
the fact that his age is only 15. Any rule which
can be stated to an editing clerk can be wired
into the machine and it will apply the rule
every time without fatigue. A card passes
through the machine in 1/9 of a second and in
this time may be examined for 30 or 40 different
inconsistencies. Those which are consistent
and those inconsistent are placed in separate
stacks.
A typical application of punch card tabula-
ting methods is that from which the Bureau
produces its monthly report on Import Statis-
tics.
From Customs officials the Bureau receives
daily declarations of all commodities which
have been imported from foreign countries.
For tabulation purposes such items as port,
country and type of commodity are first
converted into a convenient numerical code.
Items such as quantity, value and duty are
used in their reported form.
When this information has been coded it is
passed to the Mechanical Tabulation Division
where the coded and quantitative information
is punched into standard punch cards — one
card for each commodity declared by the im-
porter. In a typical month 275,000 import
cards are so prepared.
After the month end close-off, a tabulation
is produced which enables a single card to be
punched for the total of each commodity
imported from a given country. This reduces
the number of punch cards to approximately
5,000 Import Summary cards.
The Import Summary cards are then merged
with similar cards for the preceding months
of the calendar year. All of these cards are
then passed through a tabulating machine
which is wired to distinguish between cards
carrying information for the current month
and those carrying information for the preced-
ing months. For each type of commodity and
country it is therefore able to print in one
operation totals for the current month and
cumulative totals for the year to date.
These tabulation sheets with appropriate
headings inserted are then photographed and
reproduced in their final form by an offset
printing unit. There is thus no possibility of
an error being made between the machine
results and the published report.
In the DBS annual Census of Industry the
punch card has fields for the number of wage
and salary workers in the plant, the cost of
materials and fuel used, the value of products
made, and so on. These cards are punched by
operators from the schedules and the punch
cards are sorted according to industry. Each
industry is then fed through tabulating ma-
chines which produce the main published
results. Since the main delay in the process
of tabulation arises because some concerns
delay reporting their operations far beyond the
end of the period to which they refer, it has
become desirable in recent years to secure a
preliminary figure. This year this is being
n
obtained by punching all the schedules which
are in the office for 1949 about mid- 1950, and
using this partial deck of cards to pull from the
complete deck for 1948 a matching set, i.e. the
cards for all establishments that have reported
for 1949. This again is done by an assemblage
of relays known as a collator. The matching
sets for 1949 and 1948 can then be added on a
tabulator and the totals compared to give the
per cent change between the two years.
The tabulation of the results of the quarterly
Labour Force Surveys is slightly more com-
plicated since estimates for the whole country
must be made from returns sent in by enu-
merators who have visited about 30,000 rep-
resentative households. The data received from
these households is adequate to yield accurate
national and regional estimates and at the
same time the job is small enough to permit
release of results within six or eight weeks
from the start of enumeration.
The preparation of the punch cards for the
Labour Force Survey tabulations is done me-
chanically. The enumerator in the field records
the information on a special card. Instead of
turning these cards over to a staff of punching
clerks, they are passed through a machine
capable of reading the marks made by the
enumerator. Once again the principle of the
relay is applied. A mark on the original card
is transformed into a small electrical current,
which operates the relay, which in turn oper-
ates the punching mechanism. This machine
can produce a card completely punched in
about one second.
The tabulation job is essentially one of
counting the number of persons, each rep-
resented by a card, in various categories or
classifications and multiplying the results of
these counts by a factor. The counting is done
entirely by a machine which can^examine*the
cards at the rate of almost 10 per second and
can count simultaneously the cards which
fulfill up to 60 different qualifications.
Machines using punch cards are of course
only one means of securing statistical results
and a means not to be preferred when some
other more convenient one is at hand. For
example, a pegboard is most efficient for some
jobs. A group of schedules to be added are
overlapped on a frame in such a way that the
several schedules become in effect a single
large sheet on which the figures can be added
vertically and horizontally as easily as though
they were recorded on a ledger sheet. Schedules
to be tabulated in this way must of course
be designed for use on a pegboard and printed
in proper format. There are other cases where
adding machines, either printing on tapes or
showing totals in dials are the most convenient
method, — especially for tasks where no cross
classification is required. Where an elaborate
calculation involving much multiplication is
necessary it may be done by means of a multi-
plying punch, but if the procedure is compli-
cated and to be repeated only a few times the
greater set-up time, i.e. the work of instructing
a machine on how to do it rather than instruct-
ing a clerk, is not justified.
This is but a brief outline of some of the
many ways in which reports are prepared in
the Bureau. The machines now in use do many
complicated jobs which, though not impossible
for human statistical workers, are impractic-
able because of the time they would take.
Mechanical aids are constantly being developed,
aimed chiefly at accelerating the compilation
process so that more current data may be
available in business and government circles.
The field is one of great possibilities, limited
only by the imagination of the research worker
and the ingenuity of the engineer.

Current Economic Conditions
Analysis of economic conditions, based on
latest available statistics, must be made in
the perspective of events which caused an
emergency session of Parliament to convene
on August 29. Two issues prompted immediate
parliamentary action. Of top priority, was the
cross-country railway strike which threatened
the country with widespread economic dis-
location. Settlement came on August 30, the
ninth day of the strike, when Parliament
approved a bill to provide for the resumption
of operations of the railroads. Secondly, and
of no less importance, was the question of
defence exigencies which had emerged follow-
ing the outbreak of war in Korea. On this
issue Parliament approved new defence ap-
propriations and commitment authority to
the amount of $859 million. This, when added
to the defence budget already voted at the
regular session which ended in June, provided
a total of approximately $1,400 million both
for home defence and for the partial fulfillment
of Canada's commitments as a member of
the United Nations, and under the Atlantic
Pact. The full amount will not be spent
during the current fiscal year, but the in-
creased military expenditures which will take
place will intensify the pressures on prices
already at work in an economy operating close
to capacity.
To some extent, this inflationary pressure
may be mitigated by higher revenues made
necessary by the new defence requirements.
In this connection the following tax revisions
were approved: an increase of corporation
income taxes to 15% from 10% on the first
$10,000, and to 38% from 33% on the remainder,
retroactive to September 1, 1950; a tax of 30%
on candy, chewing gum, and soft drinks; an
increase in excise taxes to 15% from the original
10% on motor cars, tires, and tubes; an in-
crease in liquor taxes to $12 from $11 per proof
gallon; an increase in taxes on malt used in
beer to 21c from 16c per pound; a tax of 50c
per pound on carbonic acid; an excise tax of
15% on a variety of electrical household ap-
pliances (excluding stoves, washing machines
and refrigerators); and an excise taxe of 15%
on a variety of semi-luxury goods. These
revisions, approved on September 7, 1950, and
made effective immediately, are expected to
yield $58.9 million for the year ending March
31, 1951, and $189.5 million over a full year. By
the end of the fiscal year 1950-1951, total reve-
nues are expected to reach $2,669 million and
total expenditures $2,654 million, leaving a
surplus of $15 million.
A policy of comprehensive direct controls
involving over-all price ceilings and the re-
introduction of subsidies is not proposed at the
present time. There is an apparent consensus,
however, that in addition to financing govern-
ment expenditures on a "pay as you go" basis,
other measures are called for to deal with
existing pressures on prices, as evidenced by
the announcement of the Finance Minister
on September 7th. Public works construction
will be limited and federal farm improvement
loans will be reduced. In addition, measures
to limit the use of consumer credit will be
adopted. Steps have been taken by Central
Mortgage and Housing Corporation to limit
the lending value on new houses built under
the National Housing Act, by increasing down
payments to match rising costs.
In addition to these vital questions, recent
government decisions regarding import con-
trols on United States goods are worthy of
note here. According to an announcement
by the government on August 31, controls
governing the importation of a substantial
number of commodities under the Emergency
Exchange Conservation Act will be relaxed on
October 1, 1950. These relaxations involve
items on the prohibited list, the quota list,
and the capital goods list. The principal items
removed from the prohibited list include many
pulp and paper products, office machinery
and appliances, and passenger automobile
tires. Items hitherto on the quota list and now
unrestricted include textile fabrics, soaps,
polishes, glassware, and cooking and heating
equipment. On the capital goods list, forty-
five of the current ninety-five items are re-
moved from import control. This advance
toward greater freedom of trade is made pos-
sible by our improved United States dollar
position.
IV
General Economic Activity
The main economic indicators point to a
continued upward movement. The index of
industrial production (1935-1939 = 100) was 203.2
for July compared with 205.3 for June. This rep-
resents a slight seasonal drop, but comparison
with declines for the same period in previous
years indicates a rising trend in industrial ac-
tivity. Whereas the index fell by approximately
1% from June to July this year, it fell by 6% in
1949 and by 3% in 1948 during the same period.
Moreover, the decline here noted is presumably
due to firms curtailing operations or closing
down completely during the holiday season.
It should also be noted that it is still early to
make the complete seasonal adjustment for
this relatively recent development. Once com-
plete compensation is made the direction of
the index may be reversed.
Employment in the major industrial divi-
sions showed further increases at the beginning
of July, according to estimates made by the
Dominion Bureau of Statistics. The index of
employment in the eight leading industries
(1941 = 100) stood at 132.2 on July 1, the highest
mark on record for that date. This represents
an increase of 3.6 points over June and 1.9
points over July, 1949. The heightened activity
was fairly general, with marked improvement
in logging, building construction, and manu-
facturing. The index of employment in log-
ging was 123.2 in July, a rise of about 27% over
June and of 1% over July 1949; the index in
building construction stood at 186.2, 7% above
last month and 6% above July last year; and
in manufacturing the index was 123.4 in July,
2% above last month and approximately the
same as July, 1949. It should be noted that
employees on holidays are considered as em-
ployed for purposes of these statistics. Further
indication of the improvement in the em-
ployment situation is given by the decline in
the number of claimants on live unemployment
insurance registers. In July the number stood
at 92,520 compared with 109,433 in June and
79,902 in July, 1949.
Estimates of residential construction for the
first half of 1950 are now available. The latest
figures show that 35,968 new dwelling units
were completed by mid-year 1950, with 63,634
units under construction. Compared with
estimates at mid-year 1949, the number of
completions fell by 3,758 while the number
under construction increased by 6,847. With
the large number of units under construction
at mid-year and a rise in residential construc-
tion awards in July, compared with last month
and July, 1949 (Building Reporter, Volume 31,
Aug. 1950), it is likely that the number of
completions for the year will equal if not
exceed the number in 1949*. (See Chart on
Trends in Construction).
Canada's production of motor vehicles is
rapidly expanding. In July factory shipments
numbered 40,131 units. While this represents
a slight seasonal decline from the previous
month, the increase over July, 1949 was of the
magnitude of 14,748 units, or 58%. Also, the
cumulative total for the first seven months
of the year amounted to 231,896 units, the
highest number on record and a gain of 40%
over the corresponding period last year. Pas-
senger cars accounted for the larger propor-
tion of this gain.
Consumer spending remained high in July.
Retail store sales for the month were valued
at $707 million, a seasonal decline of about 3%
from June 1950, but a rise of over 6% over July
1949. If the influence of price increases is
removed from the July sales figure, there
remains an increase in the quantity of retail
sales of approximately 4 per cent. The index
of wholesale sales also went up. It was 325.8
in June compared with 321.5 in May 1950 and
310.6 in June last year.
Labour income for Canada was estimated at
$683 million for the month of June. This
represents an increase of $24 million over the
estimate of $659 million for the month of May.
The increase reflects a rise in employment and
in average earnings. Average weekly salaries
and wages at July 1 showed a rise of 57c from
June 1, reaching a new maximum of $45.16.
These increases, however, must be analyzed
in conjunction with the rise in prices, to which
we now turn.
Price movements
The cost-of-living index has again reached a
new high. On August 1 the index stood at
168.5, a gain of 1.0 points from July 3 and of
5.7 points from August 1, 1949. High food
costs were chiefly responsible for the increase,
although home furnishings and services, fuel
and light, and clothing also rose. The food
subindex rose 2.4 points to 216.7, as the price

of eggs, coffee, sugar and practically all meats
continued upward, in spite of seasonal declines
in the prices of fresh vegetables. Home fur-
nishings and services advanced 2.0 points to
168.9 due mainly to the increase in telephone
rates in Eastern Canada. Fuel and light
advanced 0.7 points due to higher prices for
coal and coke in Ontario and Quebec. As a
result of price increases in footwear and piece
goods, a slight advance was registered in cloth-
ing, for the first time since October, 1949.
The weekly wholesale price index for indus-
trial materials continued upward and reached
176.8 for the week ending August 25, approxi-
mately 2% above July 28 and 20% above the
August 1949 average. The main advances were
in raw sugar, raw rubber, raw wool, lead, tin
and hogs. These advances more than counter-
balanced the declines in wheat, oats and steers.
The weekly wholesale price index of Canadian
Farm Products fell 11.9 points to 142.4, between
July 28 and August 25. Featuring in this drop
was the change on August 1 in the initial wheat
price to producers of 35c per bushel (from $1.75
to $1.40) for Manitoba No. 1 Northern. Field
products also declined due to seasonal influ-
ences.
An upward trend was evidenced in the prices
of Canadian industrial, utility and mining
stocks during the month of August, as the
market continued to rally after the sharp
decline which followed the outbreak of hostili-
ties in Korea. Industrial stocks rose most
sharply, as indicated by a rise of 10.1 points,
from 125.3 on July 27 to 135.4 on August 24, in
the index of 82 issues. The index for 16 utilities
rose 4.2 points to 134.3 and the index for 30
mining stocks rose 6.2 points to 88.5 during
the same period.
Steel — Domestic
Production and Imports
Steel presents one of the economic problems
of the day. Prior to World War II Canada
produced the greater part of the more elemen-
tary forms of steel such as ingots, bars and rods
and even had a surplus for export. The bulk
of imports was made up of automotive body
steel and those shapes which, could be produced
domestically. World War II altered this favor-
able situation. Although Canada increased her
steel productive capacity considerably during
the war (by approximately I 1 2 million tons of
ingots), her imports of United States steel
VI
increased under the impetus of wartime needs
for war material and plant construction. To-
day, in spite of the upsurge in domestic steel
production, the expanded home demand for
durable goods, plant expansion and repair,
and the needs arising for military defence leave
Canada considerably dependent upon United
States sources of steel supply. On the average,
United States mills supply Canada with about
600,000 tons of steel annually, approximately
one-fifth of Canada's total steel needs.
The present international situation compli-
cates the steel picture for Canada. War in
Korea has forced the United States into a large
scale armament programme, thereby limiting
its export potential. Even before the Korean
War, imports of United States steel into Canada
had begun to show sharp declines: last May
our imports of primary iron and steel shapes
were 34% lower than in May, 1949; in June a
decline of 16% was registered from June last
year. Since the United States remains our
principal foreign source of supply, in the face
of a fairly general world shortage of steel,
production in many lines for some time to come
may largely be limited by our ability to pro-
duce additional steel.
Meanwhile, present day domestic production
is encouraging. Canada's output of pig iron,
ferro-alloys, steel ingots and castings increased
in July over the corresponding month last
year. Steel ingots and castings amounted to
264,190 net tons, a slight seasonal decline of
12,233 net tons from June, but 25,360 net tons
above July, 1949; and the cumulative output
for the first seven months this year exceeded
the corresponding period in 1949 by 38,343 net
tons, or 2%. Pig iron production in July stood
at 194,016 net tons, down 4,446 net tons from
June but 18,635 net tons above last year.
Ferro-alloys amounted to 16,118 net tons in
July, an increase of 5% over June and of 12%
over July last year. Should the present pace
of activity continue for the remainder of the
year a very high level of production will be
attained. (See Charts on The Steel Picture).
Revised Crop Estimates
Prospects for the major field crops of wheat,
barley, oats and rye, based on August 31 reports
from crop correspondents remain good even
though considerably less favourable than was
anticipated earlier this year. Severe frosts,

at 490 million bushels according to estimates
just released by the Dominion Bureau of
Statistics. This is 60 million bushels less than
was forecast a month ago and represents a loss
of approximately $100 million at current prices.
Additional heavy losses in money returns are
expected in view of the high proportion of low
grade in this year's crop. However, the current
crop estimates for the year are 123 million
bushels or 34% above the 1949 yield and 96
million bushels or 24% above the 1940-1949
average.
The oat crop is now estimated at 415 million
bushels, 31% above the 1949 yield and 3%
above the 1940-1949 average. The heaviest
gainsover last year occur in Saskatchewan and
Alberta but all provinces except Nova Scotia
and British Columbia share in the increase.
The barley crop, forecast at 179 million
bushels, is thus placed at 49% above the 1949
yield and 11% above the 1940-1949 average.
Most of the gain occurs in the Prairie Prov-
inces but all provinces except Nova Scotia
anticipate an increase.
Rye production is estimated at 14 million
bushels, an increase of 46% over last year.
This increase is due to higher average yields
per acre since the over-all acreage remained
much the same as last year.
Thus, in spite of crop damages to date, the
current outlook is, on the whole, for a good
harvest this year. Yet, the latest estimates
should be considered as tentative forecasts
only. In view of the lateness of a good propor-
tion of the crops this year, the yield realized
will depend largely upon the clemency of the
weather for the remainder of the harvesting
season.
